For European Union politicians who back the treaty it is indeed an unlucky Friday 13th.

It was a set-up that collapsed.

Ireland got so many subsidies from the EU, that it was sure the Irish would vote "yes", and they were supposed to give the constitution legitimacy, even though most governments were careful not to let the citizens vote.
